dealing with insecurity
I remember on one day , I was sitting in a couch , crying while talking to my counselor.
I told her that it is very difficult for me to deal with insecurity,
I always feel threatened by everyone around me.
Many times I ask myself , am I better than them?
If the answer is no, the feeling of insecurity will creep through my heart ,
and turn it bitter. For me , the whole world seems like a competition stage.
I wanted to change and be able to walk down the street
and stop seeing others as competitors.
I wanted to establish an identity which can not be taken.
I promise myself that someday I will be able to stand up on my own ,
and irregardless or what other people think of me ,
or my superficial qualities , I know I am content and loved.
Here what she said to me:
“Well people do feel insecure sometimes..
I do feel insecure about my life in times. I look at my friends and think that they might be earning more money than me.
But after a while , I remind myself that I am feeling insecure and try to chase away the insecurity.
Many times when we see only the small picture , we tend to place ourselves in certain level . And it makes us prone to insecurity because there will always be people at the higher level.
But what we need to know is that social level emerge due to our contribution to it.
Each and every one of us play a role and contribute to the way the world is today.
If you are able to see yourself as a part of a bigger picture ,
you will be able to play your part willingly . Even though sometimes
your part require giving up your ego for bigger purpose.”
Let us play our part in society and do what it takes.
I am content and loved.
